of blood poison and brain trouble.
The Knights of Honor elected three
new candidates Thursday night and
have two more on the string.
Last night the knights of Pythias
uniform rank enjoyed great drill,
after which the usual oysters were
served to the gand n great style.
Mr.. II. G. Merritt, the popular
lawyer, has purchased an elegant
coupe manufactured by b. +. Hardin
a. Co., paying therefor $500. 1t is
the only coupe ever made in Clarks-
vile, and is a very tine vehicle in all
its parts.
Police Pickings: Johnson Gar
ret was pulled by officer Smith, and
fined S.. for throwing rocks at boy
on the street. The same officer col
Jared four tramps on Commerce
street, but Recorder Bailey gave
them one day to skip. Bailey and
Jack Stewart were fined IS. each for
having a "ructiof9' at Second and
Franklin. Ephriam Gum a negro
who declared himself bully was
taken in by officer Smith for fighting
Sally Stewart. He was fined So. and
went on the gang. Charles Smith
tramping vagrant was captured at
Col. Yancey's residence, and fined 81.
lie also Joined the gang.
1t is evident that all true Ameri-
cans are decidedly anxious that the
Hon. John l.. Sullivan will knock
the stuffing out of both Klrain and
Smith in England. These great
bloated stiffs had the gall to stand up
and indulge in the most cowardly
talk about the Boston boy when he
was in mid-ocean, on his way to
meet the currie couple. If Sullivan
gets either or both of them on the
ropes and don't beat their heads into
iirst-class Boston jelly, then, he had
better stay away from home until he
is entirely forgotten, especially in
GAINESVILLE.

Some undertoned intimations have
been made about roadway and foot
bridge to span the tracks of the rail
road SO as to put Second street on q
line with South GAINESVILLE with &
view to making it more convenient
for the good people ever there t.
reach the business center with more
salty and comfort. IL is tC
, be hoped that such a scheme
win soon come to perma
nent head, for it is absolutely dan
gerous for ladies and children II
cross railway tracks. The merchants
and business people generally ceult
chip in and build such a bridge in
stead of taxing property for such |
project. A good bridge would ena
